The Institute of the Himalayan Tradition (R) IHT was inaugurated as a spiritual
teaching center by the saint His Holiness Swami Rama of the Himalayas.
One of the rare yoga masters of the world, he was born in the Garhwal
Himalayas, raised by the yogic master, Bengali Baba, and trained in the
5000-year-old Himalayan Yoga Tradition, the oldest, non-broken tradition of
spirituality in the world. Sent to the West to teach in 1969, Swami Rama
demonstrated the scientific basis of yoga’s wisdom and body-mind control at
the Menninger Foundation and many universities.
Swami Jaidev and Ma Devi, long-time disciples and close companions of Sri
Swami Rama, are the spiritual directors of IHT. They, together with
Manuraj, the president of IHT, many visiting yogis and health professionals,
and certified hatha yoga teachers, pass on the ancient wisdom of the Himalayan
sages as well as modern art and science in classes, seminars, retreats,
personal initiations, celebrations, and spiritual guidance.
We envision life as a journey to fulfillment in body, mind, spirit. At
the very heart of our journey is hatha yoga and meditation. We teach the
essence of spirituality without the necessity for any particular dogma or
doctrine. We welcome people of every religious background,
every race, age, ethnicity, and ability. All seekers may come to study
in the pure, classical, traditional, and welcoming environment of this major
center of the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga!
